Vaping Troubles (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world to c/trees@lemmy.world

I'm trying to switch to vaping oil. I've started using the UNI Pro 2.0. I can't stop these extended coughing fits. I have it at the lowest voltage. I pre-heat. I take a very short hit. But more often than not, I ended up coughing for 15 minutes.

Was really looking forward to transitioning to vaping but have been extremely disappointed. Is there anything that cane be done about this or should I just back to combustion?

I tried vaping some liquid once and had to cough a lot. Dry herb vaporization has been the best type of inhalation for me so far.

dry herbs vaping with a glass bubbler for cooling is the best way for me

I've seen bubbler pipes of course but not a vape. What wonders do you speak of?

you can use any waterpiece you want, most vaporizer offer adapters to fit with 10/14/18mm pieces, and if your specific models doesnt have an adapter theres tons of diy solutions out there.

search for glass bubbler for xmax starry 4, it fits most vapes, some vapes have might require a different connector but the idea is the same

there is some vapes with integrated bubblers but i dont remember the name

I have a Pax 2 which is alright. The problem is my lazy ass will just pack a bowl instead of cleaning and charging the Pax, which has a very short battery life.

Vape the herb, and not carts?

Try running the vapour through a hot water bong.

I find rosin / dry vape that don't add anything are better than whatever garbage they are putting in the oils. The local shop should have answers.

Did you smoke pure or spliffs? Loads of people have trouble smoking/vaping straight herb after smoking mostly herb/tobacco mixes before. They aren’t used to the harsher weed smoke without the nicotine numbing their throat.

It may very well be the oil itself if your buying a generic THC cartridge who knows what they put in as filler. Stay away from the disposable carts and pens IMO.

If you are really interested in switching to vaping for health reason you should try a proper dry herb vape like dynavap which can do both straight herb and concentrate dab vaporization. Can't get smoother than a high quality concentrate vapor at lower temp pulled through some cold ice.

the voltage may be too low, i find 2.6-3.2v works on my uni pro plus. you might prefer live or cured resin too.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Interesting, I was concerned that higher voltage might make things worse. I can give it a shot.

[-] 0x0f@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

only if overdone, you want to get the oil nice and hot so it vaporizes well, but not so hot that it burns.
